    Former Oregon Governor Victor Atiyeh rests in a crypt along the south wall of Corridor 24 in the Main Mausoleum of River View Cemetery. The Governor's marble surfaced crypt dons the Seal of the Oregon Territory with the state's motto, "Alis volat propriis"..."She flies with her own wings."

    Governor Atiyeh's crypt also resides in the same corridor where his brother Richard rests (#135200881). Richard passed in July 2013, almost a full year before the Governor's departure.
